LIWONDE NATIONAL PARK

Liwonde National Park is situated in the south of Malawi and is Malawi's premier wildlife reserve. Liwonde incorporates the huge and scenic Shire River as well as quiet backwaters and lagoons, marshes, open savanna country, woodland and hills. As a result of the wide variety of habitats, there is a great diversity of plant, animal and birdlife present. The birdlife is particularly good, possible the best birding location in central and southern Africa. Elephant and sable antelope occur in large numbers as do hippo, crocodile, impala, waterbuck, lion, and leopard.

THE LIVINGSTONIA BEACH HOTEL

Shaded by towering acacia trees, this welcoming little resort hotel lies in a splendid situation of the quiet shores of the vast Lake Malawi. Here the sparkling waters offer sailing and excellent snorkeling, wind-surfing, canoeing and water skiing. At the location the only sounds to echo across the pastel perfection of the dawn are the haunting cries of the fish eagles and the rhythmic lapping of the waters of Lake Malawi.
